USPS/FedEx overnight is the go-to method for shipping snakes in the US. There is special packaging to maintain consistent temps. That's how I got my carpet python

According to the article, snakes and turtles are not allowed in USPS. I wonder why? I'd rather a 20 inch python escape than a 20 inch baby alligator.

I should correct my statement, I meant to say UPS/FedEx - not sure why USPS cares about snakes but until I hear more I'm going to blame Samuel L. Jackson
